the 5th pillar of life by Sebastian Kneipp
Through breathing exercises and relaxation techniques we find inner balance. Mindfulness exercises bring more energy and joy in our lives. Meditations help calm our thoughts and restore inner peace. 60 minutes of time for yourself. Time to relax, enjoy and listen within.
--Sun Bullacia--
The starting point of this demanding hike is the Panidersattel. From there, the trail leads uphill over hill and dale to Bulla. The rest of the trail leads along the Schnürlsteig trail to Puflatsch, which offers a fantastic panorama of the surrounding mountain groups. Due to the steep characteristic, absolute surefootedness is required. Once you arrive on Seiser Alm, you can enjoy the breathtaking panorama and a good lunch in one of the mountain huts. From there, the forest road leads back to Bulla via Compatsch.
